Horns247 Board

It might make sense if the coaches reviewed every practice over the spring and decided that GG was the best out of the 4. You can't go into fall camp with 4 guys taking snaps at qb. If Harsin and Applewhite decided that GG is the best then so be it.

Not really, he has every Longhorn board talking about him, this article and posting a link to it. In the media that is known as "mission accomplished"

He's a reporter reporting. That's his job as a sports journalist, and he did it here in an objective way. Just passing along what he knows. I was at the spring game and didn't see any other QB make enough of an impression to beat out Gilbert. Sure we still have the fall camp, but the burden of proof is on the other quarterbacks who haven't shown anything.

Hope not. Connor shouldve seen this when he committed to Texas. Everyone knew about this. The only question was if GG would play his senior yr.

We haven't talked to the same person Kirk has spoken to.

That doesn't confirm or deny anything he wrote.

Of course not. He's terrible. But he will be the starter against Rice. Bohls is just reporting but everyone's shooting the messenger.

That's a very depressing statement given how adamant you have previously been to the contrary.

I think that Kirk is right. Making Gilbert your starter is the politically smart thing for Harsin to do. If Gilbert plays well great, if he doesn't then you gave him every opportunity and you replace him during the season.

As an aside, a very well respected coach/talent evaluator recently told me that his rank of the Texas qbs was 1)Gilbert 2)Ash and that he did not particularly care for either Wood or McCoy.

We've been told it is open, period.

except Harsin and Mack have flat out said the competition is wide open and a choice likely wont be made until after the summer and through the fall practice. Bobby and other insiders have heard its open as well. How exactly does it make sense for both coaches to be saying that to their team and yet secretly behind the scenes telling Gilbert its his job this far in advance? You think they wouldn't want all these QB's to bust ass through the summer and fall to improve their game? There is simply no reason for them to announce there is a starter at this point, and Bohls is basically calling these coaches liars. What is their to gain by putting on this elaborate charade including telling one player something and others something else? I dont buy Mack, Harsin, and Applewhite would act this way
